Is this the light at the link below? It is 28" high and 32" wide. I found this about height from the table...Light over Dining Room Table... how far should it hang? 30" table 28" height of light 32" from table (28-32 recommended) 90" total...and your ceiling height is 90" so the height would be all right. In my opinion, it would be fine, since as you say, the fixture is light and airy. You might also try asking at The Home Decorating Forum. It is a very active forum. Here is a link that might be useful: Quorum International 6006-6-70 Salento 6 Light

Thanks for posting this. I'm having the same problem and am hoping davidtay (or any other knowledgeable lighting person) can help me out. I'm thinking he won't tell me what I'm hoping and that is that these lights will work. I searched high and low for the most wattage I could get from a flush (without being a boob light) or a semi-flush, as DH doesn't not want to use fluorescent tubes again and recessed are out of the equation. I had settled upon Kichler 3620 and 3627 which take two and three 100-watt incandescent bulbs. I was all set to order until the Kichler customer service lady told me they could take up to two and three 9-13 watt CFLs only and not the 26-watt CFL 100-watt equivalent. Is that really true?She said that's what it said in their catalogue, so I couldn't use the 26-watt CFL's. Why not? I thought they were interchangeable?? I calculated my footage and lumens as illustrated earlier in this post. My galley is 8.5 x 17.6, although 8.5 x 5.7 of that is the laundry at the end of the galley kitchen. We were going to put the two 100-watt bulb fixture in the laundry end and the three 100-watt bulb fixture in the center of the kitchen area. I came up with needed lumens/lumens from fixture with 13-watt CFLS to be: total area, 5,236/4000; 3,570/2,400 for kitchen only; or 1,996/1,600 for laundry area. We will have fluorescent UCL and a 100-watt pendant over the sink. The pendant, for some reason, will take a 100-watt or a 26-watt CFL. I really don't want to have to turn everything on all at once everytime to be able to see. Am I stuck with this problem unless I go back to the ugly fluorescent tubes? Or do I need to stock up on a lifetime supply of incandescents if I can find them? Ugh, this is driving me crazy.

Yes I've addressed it, but you still have the canopy to deal with so really, very detailed measurements are important! The issue with a hardware ring is that they often don't match, ruining the look (don't ask how I know). One thing I love about your chandie is that it's actually quite light looking (ok pun LOL) but it's a high impact, all at the same time. I don't know if you've seen my dining room chandelier. Big, chunky and heavy all at once! (There is a chicken in the middle). It works because I really was precise with the measurements of the thing. I was tight (12.25 inches width difference) but after I let go of the links, and allowed an artist to paint the replacement hook...I was ok, but it wasn't cheap to get to that point! So I'm just saying...measure twice :) Our chandy hangs just at the 30" off the table decorator requirement, and it's perfect...any more, just an inch, would have impacted use of the space. I hope it fits...it's a gorgeous piece.

I think the lantern will have more "mass" than a chandelier because you can define the shape of it quite easily in a visual sense. I would definitely not go with the 30x30. A chandelier can carry a 30" diameter in a smaller space because there is a lot of negative space or airspace around the parts that are Not 30" if you know what I mean. The lantern defines a relatively solid object. I would probably hang it lower than the chandelier pictured, as well, depending on the headroom.
